Due diligence essential in selecting discretionary managers

By: William Clarke | 15 Mar 2012

Robust due diligence is essential for advisers selecting discretionary managers, financial research company Defaqto has argued.

A survey by the company found that 42% of platform users that respondents currently outsource some or all of the investment process, with 21% stating that they outsource to a discretionary manager.

A release by the Defatqo said: “When outsourcing through a discretionary manager, advisers are effectively entering into a long-term business relationship – and it is therefore important that they conduct robust due diligence to ensure appropriate partner selection.”
